Radiator Springs at Christmas: California Adventure


Lightning McQueen: "Where am I?"
Tow Mater: "Where are you?  Shoot! You're in Radiator Springs.  The cutest little town in Carburetor County." 

~ From Pixar's Cars, 2006


 Cars is one of my most favorite Pixar movies; it juggles for the top spot with Brave and Up, Monsters Inc. and Ratatouille falling close behind.  It's also one of the most bashed Pixar films as well with only a 75% rating from rotten tomatoes.

This expansion of California Adventure Disneyland opened last June, and I was biting at the bit to go!  I first learned about Radiator Springs being brought to life in the D23 Summer 2009 issue and was ecstatic.  The whole idea of it was so incredibly cool.

 It was a lot of fun walking through Radiator Springs, seeing it all decked out for the Christmas season.  Pure awesome, and it got me in an early Christmas spirit.
